ENVIRONMENTALLY FRIENDLY PART 1

Reduce, Reuse, Recycle. The environment is on everyone's mind these days, including those in the fashion business. There are many clothing lines that now boast the use of organic, biodegradable, and renewable materials, and are therefore considered "green". Choosing "green" clothing is a step in the right direction; however, the only way to truly help the environment is to reduce your consumption of products. The way to reduce your clothing consumption is to buy quality garments that will last for years! Step away from the disposable clothing and invest in versatile classic pieces that fit you well.

Classic pieces are those with clean, simple lines and cuts that will be as much in style five years from now as they are today. Looking for examples? Think in the middle of the extremes: a knee-length skirt, boot-cut jeans, two-inch pumps, and a white silk blouse. That classic white silk blouse that you wear to work with a pencil skirt can be paired with dark jeans and killer shoes for a night on the town, or worn underneath a sweater for a more casual outing - that's three very versatile looks. As for a proper fit, these items should follow the lines of your body and compliment your curves. Compromise is a four-letter word in my opinion, and compromising on fit leads to wasteful purchases. I'm sure you have plenty of ill-fitting clothing sitting in the back of your closet you've never worn, which were not only a waste of money but a waste of resources. Be fastidious with fit!

The best part... these high-quality classic well-fitting items fulfill your environmental conscience while making you feel happy, confident, and more powerful.
